Celtic came into this season as heavy favorites to retain their league title, and little has happened in the first 11 games to change that status.
Brendan Rodgers and his players would have been deeply frustrated had they squandered their two-goal lead at home against Aberdeen, but that draw is the only blemish on a perfect domestic record to date.
They took out their frustration when they faced the Dons at Hampden earlier this month, securing a place in the League Cup final with a dominant 6-0 victory over their nearest league rivals.
Nicolas Kuhn has been a revelation, fully acclimatised to life in Glasgow after a difficult start last season.
The German winger has 10 goals and 11 assists in just 17 appearances this season, and with national coach Julian Nagelsmann monitoring his progress, his value and profile have undoubtedly increased.
Rodgers’ team now looks capable of competing in the Champions League as well.
Their 7-0 thrashing of Borussia Dortmund prompted a change of approach, and a creditable draw in Bergamo against Atalanta preceded a superb 3-1 win against RB Leipzig at home.
Celtic look well positioned to progress in Europe and dominate domestically even if they do not strengthen further in the January window.
